See the previous thread "Backup system for Grandma" (2007-03-12)
Closest perhaps was a Keep, essentially a GUI for rdiff-backup.

Are you thinking that backup will be run manually?  Looks like Keep can
do this.

Or automatically when said external HD is plugged in?

Optionally not more often that $MIN_INTERVAL if HDD is plugged in often
or permanently

Optionally remind to plug in external HDD if $MAX_INTERVAL is exceeded.
